ADJUST ACCEPT ADOPT

ADJUST not, nor

ACCEPT, but

ADOPT

ADJUST ACCEPT ADOPT

GOOD BETTER BEST

We normally find ourselves under situations where there is a change, which demands an attitude from us. So, under such circumstances what stand do we take is so very important. There are always options left as to what further actions we are to take.

A very thin line exists between these words though they sound rather the same but they are tricky. I am therefore giving the nearest synonyms to them below.

We may ADJUST to the conditions, but we will not fully agree or have something in the background of our mind that things should or would have been different.

We shall ACCEPT but still go ahead with the situation not agreeing on certain aspects.

We will ADOPT with full consent of our mind and devote to the circumstances like how we would adopt a child as our own.

Amen. Some things in life you have no control over such as death. Even sickness, disease and misfortune can overtake anyone. For me I do my best and Let God do the rest. Superheroes only exist in the comics, TV or movies.

This is an interesting way of viewing things, Shiva. I’m taking for granted you’re speaking of things worthy of being adopted. I’ve fought against some things. I can’t and won’t either adjust to or accept them and certainly not adopt them. 🙂 — Suzanne

Shiva, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this post. I believe that there is only one option, which is acceptance, as hard as it might be, any other ways are leading us in bitterness and that’s the wrong turn to achieve the right attitude. Yet the key to get on this right path, is only awareness, listening to ourselves what is going on at the moment , therefore being honest with ourselves.

Cornelia you have shaken the still water and the ripples are forming. I understand what you really want to convey.
Acceptance and Awareness do not match. Acceptance is what we agree to what has come our way even in one corner of our mind we may not agree to it.
Awareness is what tells us to exercise our discretion.
Yes we are to be aware of our awareness. But that needs the mind to be nurtured. It takes its time and devotion to practice.
Here in the post I am slowly trying to bring the reader into Awareness.
When the petals start opening then shall one use their Discretion and Adopt.
I am sure and know that your Awareness has come of your Sincere Devotion and Discretion.
You are a Blessed one and your Karmic acts speak of your honest being and state.
Thanks so much.

Dear Shiva, I love your first line of shaking the still water……I absolutely agree with what you are saying about acceptance and awareness, indeed it takes time and perseverance, yet it is all worth it, because through this learning process I have become a much more humbled person and there fore a happier being therefore it affects others. It’s all a beautiful circle to live within. Thank you for your last line, indeed I feel blessed. Thank you our fruitful conversations.

Shiva, in your very clever and deep poem, post , you address deep questions to which our response will affect our lives.
I feel that each decision is right in different situations. Adopt if we can , accept or adjust as need forces. I have learnt though that there are also times when you just have to walk away.
Thank you for this deeply thoughtful post

Miriam I really appreciate your devotion to read my writings with full involvement. Thanks for that.
I understand your thoughtful act on different situations. Yes you do have to walk away at times. That is why I have mentioned it as Adjust for Good, Accept for Better and Adopt for Best. Only thing is we may be doing the Good instead of the Best, that is what it all means.
I hope the Best for you always Miriam.💞🌷

Etta it is so nice to make this a Mantra for the Good, Better and Best.
I wish YOU always the Best come and shower on YOU.
😃💞🌷

Kamal so much thanks.
They are, but what I mean here is if you can Accept why should one Adjust and if you can Adopt why one should Accept. Choosing of the higher value.
That is why Good Better Best.
Thanks

Thanks Lady I am happy you read it. I hope it shall be of help to you. One most times require a break or some kind of a turning point it may be through words also.
Wishing YOU all the very Best in Life.🌟💞
